About Us

Not sure what engineering discipline to pursue right now and want to keep your options open? Mechanical Engineering is a broad-based and flexible program, allowing cadets to focus in many important disciplines, such as fatigue/fracture mechanics and failure analysis.

If understanding, building and using state-of-the-art materials such as composites and ceramics intrigues you, or if you enjoy the idea of designing and analyzing structures, our Mechanical Engineering program—ranked seventh in the nation, according to U.S. News’ Best Colleges list—is the major for you.

There are incredible mechanical engineering systems in aerospace and automotive hardware, power generation facilities and manufacturing. Because systems bring together the engineering of mechanics and motion, thermodynamics and fluids, materials and structures, and control, Mechanical Engineering is a broad discipline of design and analysis.

The Mechanical Engineering and Systems Engineering majors are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
